Deep reinforcement learning for automatic focus and axial motion correction for OCT B-scans

On demand | Presented live 26 January 2025

Abstract

Optical coherence tomography (OCT) retinal imaging often faces challenges from subject movement and focus accommodation, disrupting consistent imaging of targeted layers. We present a method utilizing OCT B-scan images and a deep reinforcement learning (DRL) algorithm to correct focus changes and axial shifts. Trained in a simulated environment and refined with transfer learning, the DRL agent provides consistent retinal layer focus and stable imaging.
